Back to reality 'ombres ... back to the original videsnip: I thought the use of the onbeat of the rap against the offbeat of the footing was interesting. I sometimes do that on my accordeon and it drives the dancers to distraction. My side are rather brainlocked-on-the-tune, who claim they can only dance to the tune as-writ. I have oft questioned them as to where is it "as-writ", and pointed out that (1)the Black Book only records the bare tune ; and (2)it has a load of duff notes in it that make a nonsense of some tunes. So I shall promote this videsnip to them as an "alternative" global view of the accompaniment to the dance ... phaps when they are practising with hankies.
